It ensures I won't be overwhelmed in the sim check in an intervew, it makes initial training much easier to complete, it comes with job placement from ATP as well as career mentors... And best of all most airlines say they will consider reduced minimums if you have the course. So call it useless if you like but I don't regret it at all.
BUT let's stick to the topic enough debate on my crj course lol... What do you guys think the minimums will be a few months into the hiring spree?
And to the guy who said at 400 hours I don't know how to fly
your advice if I read correctly was to instuct others how to not fly? Lol just found that funny it's safe to say I'm not as experianced as some but saying I don't know how to fly is just silly.
At 400 hours you can fly...a little, but you don't even know what you don't know yet. The RJ course was a waste of money, I don't care what some ex-CP said. You think some hours in a CRJ sim without any follow-on practical application will help you? Throw in the fact that it will be how many months or years since that course before you begin to try and put that experience to use again...spare us.
Why are you considering block time in a 172 if you say your left seat in a Baron? You're probably not getting a call with 500 hours when hiring starts again...and when it does, it'll hardly be what I'd call a 'hiring spree'.
